That's quite an opinion, if my employer was to reduce my salary by £300, I'd miss it.
I think anyone would miss £300.
and on the second point...... "most will be keeping it"
The writer of the article itself states

he plan is to withdraw the allowance from 9.3 million people who do not currently receive Pension Credit. It would continue to be paid to 1.5 million

So most will not be keeping it, around 84% of pensioners will be losing it.
All this to save £1.4B, when asylum seekers cost us £4.3B
Why bring Asylum seekers into it, I hear you ask. Because it's a waste of money that could and should be sorted out before taking money away from pensioners
